The world of two wheels is also accelerating towards an electric future, as demonstrated by the first tests on the track at Misano carried out by the new one Ducati MotoE: we remind you that the Borgo Panigale car manufacturer will be the sole supplier of the motorcycles for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, the electric class of the MotoGP World Championship, starting from 2023. Ducati absolutely does not want to be caught unprepared for the appointment, for this reason the electric motorcycle prototype called “V21L”, the result of the joint work of the Ducati Corse team and the Ducati R&D designers, was put to the test on the track.
“We are experiencing a truly extraordinary moment. I find it hard to believe it is reality and not yet a dream! – commented Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director – The first electric Ducati on the track is exceptional not only for its uniqueness but also for the type of company: challenging both for its performance objectives and for its extremely short timescales. Precisely for this reason the work of the whole team dedicated to the project was incredible and today’s result repays us for the efforts made in recent months. We are certainly not finished, indeed, we know that the road is still very long, but in the meantime we have laid a first important ‘brick’ “. The electric prototype was brought to the track by Michele Pirro, professional rider and Ducati test rider since 2013.
“Testing the MotoE prototype on the circuit was one Big emotion, because it marks the beginning of an important chapter in Ducati history – added Pirro himself – The bike is light and already has a good balance. Furthermore, the gas connection in the first opening phase and the ergonomics are very similar to those of a MotoGP. If it weren’t for the silence and the fact that in this test we decided to limit the power released to only 70% of performance, I could have thought very well that I was riding my bike ”.
